So, let’s talk about this rising talent—yeah, the reality star and musician who really made a name for himself on the Canadian series Degrassi. He’s most recognized for his role as Vijay Maraj, a standout character in the Next Class edition, which marked the show’s 15th season. Now, before he landed that big break, he actually started out in music. That was his first love—singing, performing, the whole vibe. But then came the turning point: he got cast in Degrassi, and from there, acting kind of took over. It was like a natural shift, you know?
He was born and raised in Amherstburg, Ontario—a small town in Canada that definitely shaped who he is today. And honestly, it’s pretty cool to see how someone from such a humble beginning could step into the spotlight like that. His journey from local singer to a recognizable face on a popular series? Yeah, that’s the kind of story people root for. And now, with his foot firmly in both music and acting, he’s building a solid path forward. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
He actually made it all the way to the finals on the Canadian singing competition show The Next Star during its sixth season, which was quite an achievement. Interestingly enough, he was born in the very same year that the original version of Degrassi: The Next Generation first hit the screens—way back in 2001.
